Coaching for Captains

Coaching for Captains’ Mission is to inspire and prepare teen athletes to become role models and leaders in their community.

At school visits, regional trainings, and monthly workshops, we use experiential learning to educate, support and develop leadership skills and healthy behaviors. The program builds the resilience of young athletes to navigate adolescence safely with a vision for a positive future.

Coaching for Captains Registration for the 2018-19 class is open.

What is Coaching for Captains?

Coaching for Captains is a leadership development program for high school athletes which promotes a culture of success on and off the field of play.

The program is designed to:

Inspire and prepare student athletes to be courageous and informed peer leaders to address risky behaviors

Build the resilience of young athletes to navigate adolescence safely and with a vision for a positive future

What is in it for the participants?

Coaching for Captains addresses the aspects of athletics that physical conditioning and practice do not. Participants can gain an edge over their competition by working on the mental, social, and emotional parts of the game.

Who should participate?

Sophomores are the target audience, however freshmen and juniors can participate as well

Student athletes who are interested in improving their life skills and making a difference in their community

All athletes who are rising leaders or who aspire to be; not just captains

Start Ready! is a FREE co-ed skills clinic developed by Second Growth and focused on pre-season conditioning, speed and agility training, and leadership skills development for student athletes who participate in any sport, at any time of year. Are you a swimmer or a runner? Do you play soccer, football, basketball, or hockey? Is lacrosse your favorite sport? How about cheerleading, martial arts, tennis, or skiing? No matter what you love to do to stay physically active and healthy, you will improve your game and improve your focus through participation in Start Ready! camp.
This summer, Second Growth will host TWO WEEKS of camp; the first week for students rising to grades 7 and 8, and the second week for students rising to grades 9, 10, 11, and 12.
